Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Celtic vs. Dundee United

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Scottish Premiership fixtures, including Celtic vs. Dundee United.

Rangers will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership when they travel to Ross County on Saturday lunchtime.

Meanwhile, the hosts, who have accumulated 10 points from their last five games at Victoria Park, will be hoping to move further away from the bottom two with a victory.

We say: Ross County 0-2 Rangers


Rangers will be the strong favourites to come away with all three points from Victoria Park, and they should have no problems in securing a routine win.

Ross County have fared better on home soil so far this term, but they are unlikely to cause an upset this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Aberdeen vs. St Johnstone (Saturday, 3.00pm)

St Johnstone will be attempting to lift themselves off the foot of the SPL table on Saturday when they travel to the Pittodrie Stadium as the Saints face Aberdeen.

The hosts are looking to bounce back after suffering a defeat during their most recent outing, with the Dons having the potential to drop out of the top six with another loss.

We say: Aberdeen 2-0 St Johnstone


Even though Aberdeen were defeated in midweek, they will head into this game as the favourites, and they should have enough quality to get themselves back to winning ways.

With St Johnstone struggling to find the back of the net this season, the Dons will likely want to get themselves a clean sheet and three points here.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Celtic vs. Dundee Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Celtic will be looking to stay within touching distance of Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers by claiming all three points at home against Dundee United on Saturday afternoon.

The Tangerines, meanwhile, will be hoping to secure at least another point at Parkhead, having already drawn 1-1 with the Hoops earlier this season.

We say: Celtic 3-1 Dundee United


Having drawn two of the last three meetings against Celtic, Dundee United will want to frustrate the Hoops once again and build momentum with a positive result on Saturday.

However, Postecoglou's men are in fine form at present, scoring at least twice in six of their last seven matches, and they should have no problems in securing all three points at Parkhead.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Dundee vs. St Mirren (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Dundee will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to three matches at the weekend, with the Dark Blues attempting to put further pressure on the teams outside of the relegation zone.

One of those just so happens to be their opponents on Saturday, but St Mirren could extend the gap from the relegation zone to double digits if they secure a victory.

We say: Dundee 1-2 St Mirren


This is a crucial match within the bottom half of the table, and there is a real need for Dundee to pick up some points if they want to escape the relegation zone.

However, St Mirren have been a stronger squad throughout the season, and a victory would provide some real distance for them with the drop zone, which they should be able to secure this time out.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Hearts vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both Hearts and Motherwell will be looking to get back to winning ways on Saturday when they face each other in the SPL, with the visitors being without a victory in the league throughout 2022.

The hosts are seven points ahead of the Steelmen right now, which is a gap they shall be attempting to extend as they look to keep putting pressure on the top two teams in the division.

We say: Hearts 1-0 Motherwell


With the two teams next to each other in the league table, there is obviously going to be little to separate them, as they have been evenly matched throughout the season.

Having won a game each against each other within the campaign, they know how to get three points at the expense of the other, but Hearts could just edge this one with their attacking quality.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Hibernian vs. Livingston (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hibernian have the potential to climb into the top four with a victory on Saturday, depending on other results, while the visitors shall be attempting to get back to winning ways after their midweek defeat.

Livingston are only six points above the relegation zone right now, placing some extra pressure on their performances, while the Hibees have kept consecutive clean sheets.

We say: Hibernian 2-1 Livingston


Both teams are in fairly strong form heading into this match, and that is something that will provide a lot of confidence to each squad, which is something that should lead to a close game.

However, with Livingston struggling for goals at the moment and Hibernian boasting some brilliant attacking talent, it should be the hosts that just edge things overall.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
